Milto making hitters miss in senior season at Indiana
April 26, 2019 stvkrh905	Leave a comment
Pauly Milto has become the first starter in Indiana University's weekend pitching rotation.
The 6-foot-3, 240-pound senior right-hander is slated to take the ball when the Hoosiers begin a three-game Big Ten Conference baseball series Friday, April 26 against Minnesota at IU's Bart Kaufman Field.
So Milto is the man who sets the tone for the staff and the team?
"I don't think of it that way," says Milto. "My job is to go out there and prevent runs. 'Friday guy' is just a label to me.
"I guess it's kind of cool to be the first guy to pitch. But it's the same job no matter when you go into pitch."
Milto, who hails from Greenwood, Ind., and is a graduate of Roncalli High School in Indianapolis, has started 10 games in 2019 and is 6-3 with a 2.29 earned run average.
In 70 2/3 innings, he has 69 strikeouts and nine walks. Opponents are hitting .212 against him. He fanned a season-high 10 batters in an outing against Iowa on March 22.
For his career, Milto is 24-9 with a 2.81 ERA. He has 227 K's and 65 free passes in 255 innings and 58 appearances (35 as a starter).
While Milto occasionally touches around 92 mph with his fastball, he relies on his ability to mix his four-seamer, two-seamer, wipeout slider and change-up.
"I'm not beating barrels with my velocity," says Milto. "It's tunneling pitches and making everything look the same until it gets closer to the hitter."
Milto has learned to understand his body and make swift adjustments.
"The biggest part in my own personal development is just knowing myself and kind of figuring out that when I mess up, knowing right away instead of taking two or three more pitches to understand to fix an issue," says Milto.
At Roncalli, Milto did not pitch that much. He played two seasons for Keith Hatfield and one for Deron Spink. He did not get to play for Aaron Kroll, missing his senior campaign with a back injury that required surgery.
"It was a six-month process," says Milto. "All the rehab was worth it. I feel great right now.
"I've had no complications."
Milto credits former IU pitching coach Kyle Bunn for teaching him how to pitch.
With the arrival of a new coaching staff in Bloomington for 2019, including pitching Justin Parker, Milto has embraced a new way of doing things.
"His philosophy on pitching is a little different than what I'm used to," says Milto of Parker. "I've enjoyed evolving into a different kind of mindse.
"Also, he's found some mechanical flaws that I had. We've been able to correct those pretty quickly."
Milto's earliest organized baseball experiences came at Center Grove and Edgewood youth leagues. He began playing travel ball at 9, first with the Edgewood Bulldogs then Indiana Irish and Pony Express.
His collegiate career could be capped off with selection in June's Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft.
But he's not concerned about that at the moment.
"I'm just focused on the here and now and keeping the season going," says Milto.
The 22-year-old graduated from IU in three years and is doing some extra schooling now to earn a certificate.
The son of Tony and Angela Milto has two siblings — Anthony and Sophia.

Seymour graduate Brown learning to deal with mental side of baseball
September 14, 2017 stvkrh905	Leave a comment
Two tunes followed Zack Brown to the mound during the 2017 baseball season.
When the 2013 Seymour High School graduate toed the rubber on the road, he would be greeted by "Chicken Fried" by the Zac Brown Band.
"It's pretty funny. It was a common joke spread around," says Brown, the 22-year-old right-hander selected in the fifth round of the 2016 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft by the Milwaukee Brewers after three seasons at the University of Kentucky. "I do not want anything to do with it at home."
So what was playing as Brown made his first-inning warm-up tosses at Low Class-A Wisconsin or High Class-A Carolina?
"'Small Town' by John Mellencamp," says Brown. "It has a little meaning to it. That's why I picked it."
Brown, who went a combined 7-5 with a 3.11 earned run average and 107 strikeouts and 36 walks in 110 innings, stayed connected to his hometown with regular texts or phone calls with his head coach at Seymour High — Jeremy Richey.
First acquainted when Brown was attending Seymour baseball camps as a middle schooler, he credits Richey for helping him with the mental side of the game.
"I'm very competitive," says Brown, the son of Bob and Cathy and younger brother of Tyler. "When I play not to the best of my ability, it's hard to let that go. I have to just keep working at it. One big thing with pro ball is a hitter can go out there the next night. A (starting pitcher) starter has to wait four days. You have to let go of what happened the days before and get ready for the next start."
Richey watched most of Brown's appearances (18 at Wisconsin and four at Carolina) on MiLB.TV and noticed a trend.
"In the games that he pitched, he often gave up all the runs in one inning," says Richey. Though their correspondence, the coach tried to help the player work through it.
Richey saw Brown face obstacles while at Seymour at Kentucky.
"His junior year, he threw really well for us," says Richey. "His senior year, he threw to about five different catchers and tried to strike everybody out and do more for himself. He had to battle through that.
"He threw really well as a (UK) sophomore. Then they did not score many runs for him as a junior."
When those occasions arose, Richey would pose questions.
"What are your thoughts when that happens? Are you trying to do too much?," says Richey. "It's about dealing with adversity."
Richey, who enjoys reading motivational books like Old School Grit: Times May Change, But the Rules for Success Never Do (Sports for the Soul) by Darrin Donnelly, also helps his current players through the ups and downs of the sport.
"Kids want to put themselves in position when they are successful all the time," says Richey. "When they are not successful, they don't know how to deal with that.
"(Donnelly says) 'it's not wins and losses; it's wins and lessons.' To me, that's baseball."
In his second professional season, Brown has learned more about what pitches work for him and how to take care of his body to get through the grind of a 140-game season.
"It was pretty good," says Brown of his 2017 campaign. "I got off to a slow start with an (arm) injury. After the all-star break was probably the best string of outings in my career. I finished the season strong."
Brown used a four-seam fastball, sinking fastball, curve ball and circle change-up against Midwest League and Carolina League batters. He added the sinker while at UK.
A Friday night starter in the tough Southeastern Conference as a sophomore and junior, Brown played for then-head coach/pitching coach Gary Henderson, who also stressed the mental game.
"He taught me to slow the game down learn how to pitch to people," says Brown. "The majority of the time, it's your strengths vs. the opponent's weaknesses."
The same has held true in pro ball.
The big difference for Brown is bouncing back quicker.
"It's being consistent with what you do day in and day out," says Brown. "You have to be ready to go every five days. That was a huge change for me (compared to pitching once a week in college)."
In the minors, Brown works with the strength coach to maintain what he has built in the off-season and to keep his flexibility.
"You're getting paid to play so they want you to be healthy and able to go out and perform," says Brown, who will attend a short instructional league session in Arizona and then come back to Seymour where he will work out and help the community's younger players.
Brown's baseball path began with Seymour Youth League and also included travel ball with the Indiana Bats (based in Greensburg), Edgewood Bulldogs and Indiana Redbirds (based in Columbus).
"We went to Batesville in the winter and practiced for the Bats in an old gym on Sunday nights," says Brown. "Travel ball has taken off even more since then. It's crazy."

International ETFs Help Industry Eclipse Previous Inflow Records
Tom Lydon December 15, 2017
International equity ETFs are a major reason why ETFs easily eclipsed previous inflows records this year, but many investors remain under-allocated to foreign stocks.
Highlighting the theme of investors flocking to ex-US developed markets stocks and exchange traded funds this year, the iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF (BATS: IEFA) is one of 2017's top asset-gathering ETFs. In fact, only one ETF has added more new assets than IEFA this year.
IEFA debuted nearly five years ago as a cost-effective alternative to the iShares MSCI EAFE ETF (NYSEArca: EFA), which tracks the developed EAFE or European, Australasia and Far East countries. IEFA charges just 0.08% per year, the equivalent of $8 on a $10,000 position, while EFA has an annual fee of 0.33%.
"Markets outside the U.S. represent half of the total value of the 47 developed and emerging stock markets that make up the MSCI All Country World Index (Source: MSCI). Yet more than 80% of U.S. investors hold only domestic stocks, according to Morningstar," said BlackRock in a recent note. "We suffer from a chronic case of home country bias, and in the process we may miss a lot of chances to potentially improve the risk/return in portfolios. It's understandable. With years of supernormal returns from U.S. stock markets, investors with diversified global portfolios may feel fatigued by trailing the U.S. market."
IEFA holds over 2,500 stocks with over half the ETF's combined geographic weight dedicated to Japan, the U.K. and France. Overall, 16 countries are represented in the ETF. Eleven of those countries are European nations.

In a released advisory, the POEA has cautioned Filipino nurses of being lured by recruiters to supposed nursing jobs in Belgium.
While there may be an actual shortage of nurses in Belgium, foreign nurses encounter difficulty securing employment because of European Directive 2005/36/EC.
I think that European Union member countries prioritize their own citizens and those of EU members before looking for other nationals to fill in professional positions.
The directive implemented by the European Commission consolidates the rules regulating the recognition of professional qualifications among EU member nations. With this directive, Filipino nurses still have to take several unit of nursing subjects in Belgium, so that their credentials will match that of the Belgian nursing curriculum.
Filipino registered nurses are advised against these supposed nursing jobs in Belgium. They may be hard pressed to qualify and secure the nursing position, or worse, the position being offered may proved to be non-existent at all.


Rumor: Destiny 2 Poster Leaks Release Date | Nerd Much?
Someone over in Europe took a picture of what looks like poster for Destiny 2. Surprisingly, the release date sounds like it will be coming fairly soon, on September 8.
However, there isn't a year on the poster, so that could be anything from this year to a few years from now.
Game retailers around the world do so like to sell their pre-order copies before the game is even thinking about being out, so I imagine this poster is born from that.
In addition, the poster also implies an early beta access for PS4 players, though that isn't much of a surprise. Pictures of this poster come from Italian gaming website Lega, Imgur, and Twitter.
All look like someone decided to snap a picture before throwing it in the trash. I would never have gotten away with wrinkling a poster from the Head Office that much, but maybe retail is run a little differently in Europe. After all, I do hear their cashiers have chairs at the till over there.


There was no simultaneous contact by Tool with Positive Terminal of Battery.
I immediately retracted Clamp from Terminal so as to halt this nasty event.
Consequences of that very event above ?
Perhaps animal has shorted the wiring ?
Overall Problem is likely to be ?
If I need Auto-Electrician,- how much will fixing the situation cost approx. ?
And, to lesser spec. for given year of comparable model.
not being very knowledgeable about the use of the controls of this model.
There is some Minor "Pitting" Damage now to Neg. Terminal of Battery.
if any electrical device is on in the car (interior light, ignition etc) it will cause a slight spark. If it is still sparking (or smoking!) after wire is seated on terminal then you have a short somewhere. Try to turn everything off before connecting; if this is the cause then there are no terminal (pun intended) consequences.
You will get minor sparks when connecting the negative even with nothing turned on, there's always a small load somewhere (interior light, clock, engine management system, radio).
You have "something" running (thus bigger sparks), you need to find out what's running and (if it's not supposed to be) stop it. Turn everything off (don't forget the blower/aircon).
Are you sure the ignition is actually off? Sometimes older locks can allow the key to be removed in the Acc/On position when they become worn or broken. Put the key in and turn fully counter-clockwise (usually) to the Off position.
Assuming you get no smoke/hot battery connections when the battery is connected, try starting the engine.
If one [ I or recruited person ] initially just 'ensures that every control is switched to "Off" state', & tries connecting the negative terminal again as 2nd connection,- does that allow chance that same event re-occur with perhaps damage to the various computer units in car's electrical & electronic systems ?
Should I get Auto-Electrician to check out car's wiring etc. before trying to connect batter again ?
If you can get hold of a multimeter (they can be bought at various electrical shops and are useful to have around the house too), you could check the resistance between the disconnected battery cables. With the ignition off, a very low, or zero resistance would indicate a short.
"... you could check the resistance between the disconnected battery cables. ..."
Does having 1 Terminal connected to its proper Post of Battery AND the other Terminal disconnected suffice for this setup ?
If "Yes", should the disconnected Terminal be the Return / Earth / Ground / Negative ?
"... With the ignition off, a very low, or zero resistance would indicate a short. ..."
Is it that the Multimeter itself provides the current to encounter, & thus, feedback, the resistance ?
Man up in the tropics!
Just connect the thing back up, slowly count to 10 and if no smoke or fire go try to start the thing.
It would be reckless, & moreover negligent now that I have witnessed an unusual occurrence [ arcing & motor spinning ], to not seek authoritative insight, & guidance ahead of completing the connecting of the terminals to the battery.
Difficulty of locating expertise, & replacement part, & time, & money, & stress inter alia.
I had forgotten to press the send button.
And,- so I sent it anyway, & logically so, ahead of sending this very update.
So,- I completed the connection.
And, upon turning the key in ignition,- I had immediate starting of the engine.
Worry 2 much. In the first instance of sparking, if damage was to be done, it would have been done then.
Computers in cars are damaged most often by static discharges, which is why you disconnect cables AND ground the case before removing connectors.


An interesting update on the future of Jonjo Shelvey from the West Ham end.
A boyhood supporter, Shelvey will be looking for a new club this summer and the Hammers have long been linked with him.
The only possible way the midfielder could still be at St James Park come August, is if Rafa Benitez isn't.
The Newcastle boss making clear there isn't a first team future for him at Newcastle, preferring Longstaff, Diame, Hayden and Ki ahead of the former England international.
National journalist Hugh Southon also runs the respected Claret and Hugh independent West Ham website and they have provided an update on the chances of Jonjo Shelvey potentially joining the East London club this summer.
They have connections to the hierarchy at West Ham and say they have been told that the club's owners are still waiting to get the transfer wishlist from the manager and Director of Football. Though they do say Manuel Pellegrini is a fan of Shelvey's.
However, before any West Ham move, they say that injury concerns will have to be allayed.
The Hammers have been badly burnt when taking on the likes of Jack Wilshere (four Premier League starts this season) and Andy Carroll (three PL starts this season and only 62 in the last six years) on massive wages, and in the case of Andy Carroll, a sizeable transfer fee as well.
When Jonjo Shelvey last started a Premier League match, Newcastle had so far failed to win a PL game this season.
He started that 1-0 win over Watford on 3 November but hasn't been named by Rafa Benitez since then in a Premier League starting eleven.
Five and a half months later and he is pretty much totally sidelined.
Back to fitness a couple of months ago, Shelvey has had only 32 PL minutes on the pitch in brief sub appearances and was struggling to make even the bench until injuries to the likes of Longstaff, Diame and Ki.
After three and a half years on Tyneside, it looks time to move on for Jonjo Shelvey, whether that destination is West Ham remains to be seen.
'Reports that Jonjo Shelvey has held showdown talks with Rafa Benitez over his future will re-ignite speculation that West Ham could move in on the midfielder.
Manuel Pellegrini is known to like the 27 year old but a Hammers move remains no better than 50/50 or less given his injury record this season.
An Irons insider has made it clear to ClaretandHugh via text message that they will be making no moves at all until Manuel Pellegrini and director of football Mario Husillos present them with their list of preferred players in the summer.

Snakes That Originated From Iraq
By Crystal Owens
i George Doyle/Stockbyte/Getty Images
Six snakes are native to Iraq, with its desert climate and mountainous terrain. All are poisonous, according to Dean Alessandrini, a former Kentucky Reptile Zoo keeper. During the Iraq War, military personnel were advised to be extremely cautious because of these snakes. One species, the saw-scaled viper, is blamed for more deaths annually than any other snake in the world, Alessandrini says. The other snakes are the desert cobra, the field's sand viper, the lebetine viper, the desert horned viper and the Kurdistan viper.
Desert Cobra
The desert cobra is found throughout Iraq, but it's least likely to be seen in the north. These snakes, with their shiny black, polished exterior, can grow up to 4 feet long, although their average size is about 2 feet. Desert cobras are quick, and they're known for their keen sense of smell but weak eyesight. They're not picky eaters. They will eat anything from birds to other snakes. Unlike some of its Iraq colleagues, this snake is not easily agitated, but it will strike if provoked.
Saw-Scaled Viper
This snake, the smallest of Iraq's vipers, is known for the arrow mark on top of its head. It measures a maximum of 20 inches long and its color depends on its environment, although it's typically brown or tan. The saw-scaled viper is found in rocky and sandy terrains throughout the southern deserts of Iraq. It's also found in India, Sri Lanka, Iran, Israel and Saudi Arabia. This snake is considered highly venomous and bad-tempered; it's quick to strike if it feels threatened. It's blamed for more deaths worldwide than any other snake.
Levantine Viper
The lebetine viper, an endangered species, is also known as the blunt-nose viper, the Levantine viper, the Levant viper and the mountain addler. It's known by its blunt nose and can grow to 6 feet long. Unlike some snakes, its colors vary from brown, red, yellow or pink, making it sometimes difficult to identify. Although it's slow and lethargic, it has been known to strike aggressively when provoked. Its diet consists of mammals, reptiles and birds, which it kills with a large dose of venom that quickly causes pain, swelling and tissue damage.
The Desert Horned Viper
The desert horned viper, is an endangered species. It's known for its devilish looks: horns above each eye. It grows to no more than 2 feet long. This snake can burrow into the sand in seconds, mainly to get away from the desert heat. This snake scrapes its scales together, making a sound that resembles that of a rattlesnake. Feasting mostly on lizards and small rodents, the desert horned viper packs a hard punch. Its venom can do major damage to tissue.
The Kurdistan and Field's Sand Vipers
The Kurdistan viper likes to hang out in the rocky slopes in the higher elevations of northeast Iraq. The zigzag pattern on its back comes in gray or grayish brown with a row or orange or yellow spots. It averages 2 to 3 feet long. It's rare for a human to encounter this snake in the wild. The Field's Sand Viper, although venomous, is slow moving. During the day it usually hides under shrubs during in the western portion of Iraq. Averaging about 2 feet long, the snake can be beige, yellowish brown, gray or bluish gray with a black tail tip. The Field's Sand Viper has a single horn above each eye. It's uncommon to hear of bites to humans, but this snake's venom can cause hemotoxic and neurotoxic effects.

Q: Flask dynamic checkboxes This is pretty straightforward: I have a list of ids and I want to display them to the user as a series of checkboxes. The user should select the ones he wants then check which ones are selected and execute a function. Here's my code:
app.py:
from flask import Flask, render_template, flash, request, redirect
from wtforms import Form, TextField, TextAreaField, validators, StringField, SubmitField,widgets, SelectMultipleField
from flask_wtf import FlaskForm

app = Flask(__name__)

This tragic documentary series tells the stories of Dalit students who were driven to suicide
University of Hyderabad scholar Rohit Vemula's death has once against brought up the issue of casteism in institutions of higher learning.
The suicide of 26-year-old Rohith Vemula, one of five Dalit students expelled from their hostel at the University of Hyderabad two weeks ago, has put the focus back on the way Indian academic institutions treat students from backward castes.
Vemula and the others had been suspended by the university after a leader of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad accused the five students of having assaulted him. The five claimed this was a false allegation and had been staging a sleep-in protest outside their hostel since the expulsion.
Even though the 26-year-old said that no one was responsible for his suicide, his final note did make reference to the way he was feeling. "I am not hurt at this moment. I am not sad. I am just empty. Unconcerned about myself. That's pathetic. And that's why I am doing this," Vemula wrote in his suicide note.
Those are words that would be familiar to Dalit students across the country, who often have to deal with severe bullying and ostracism in many Indian institutions. The video above, from a three-part documentary series called The Death of Merit, documents the suicide of a 20-year-old Dalit student at IIT Roorkee in 2011.
Manish Kumar Guddolian jumped to his death from the fifth floor of his hostel. While the police put the death down to depression, his family members spoke to the filmmaker about the many months of bullying he faced in college from a group of students who tried to put him down by calling him names like "chamar" and circulating a video of his photos to be laughed at.
The college administration's response when the matter was taken to them was to suggest he should focus on his studies and perhaps he should be moved out of the hostel. His parents and relatives tell their part of the story in the film.
Another case covered by the series was the suicide of a 22-year-old medical student Dr Jaspreet Singh who was routinely failed in exams by one professor. The aspiring surgeon was a bright student, who scored well all through school and in college, barring one subject. On 27 January 2008, he hung himself to death on the fifth floor of his college's library.
Following his suicide, when his papers were examined by an external body at the behest of the National Scheduled Caste Commission, he passed. College authorities tried to put his suicide down to depression despite Singh explicitly mentioning professor NK Goel in his suicide note. The professor though went scot-free and continues to work at the Government Medical College in Chandigarh.
Reservations are another source of harassment for young Dalit students. Balmukund Bharti, a final year MBBS student at AIIMS committed suicide on March 3, 2010. His parents allege that the professors told him that people like him who come on the back of reservations can never become doctors.

How to use Vertical in a sentence
A man stood next to it, peeking through a slit in the vertical slats.
It grows to a vertical height of from 50 to 80 ft.
This body pursued the subject with more or less diligence, and in 1884 laid down the principle that the automatic coupler should be one acting in a vertical plane - that is, the engaging faces should be free to move up and down within a considerable range, in order to provide for the differences in the height of cars.
When the horns came to be set before and behind, the vertical orphrey retained its position.
A vertical circle passing through the sun may also be seen.
The Heteropoda exhibit a series of modifications in the form and proportions of the visceral mass and foot, leading from a condition readily comparable with that of a typical Pectinibranch such as Rostellaria, with the three regions of the foot strongly marked and a coiled visceral hump of the usual proportions, up to a condition in which the whole body is of a tapering cylindrical shape, the foot a plate-like vertical fin, and the visceral hump almost completely atrophied.
At mines with vertical shafts this is a simple operation.
The Quincy mine, also in Houghton county, has reached a vertical depth of nearly 4000 ft.

The depth of the cutting is indicated by marks on the vertical wall at intervals of 10 Roman ft.
The definition of a fine vertical line, and consequently the resolving power for contiguous vertical lines, is thus independent of the vertical aperture of the instrument, a law of great importance in the theory of the spectroscope.
All the errors, except that depending on a, and especially those depending on -y and S, can be diminished, without loss of resolving power, by contracting the vertical aperture.

When the deposit is vertical or steeply inclined, horizontal or inclined bore-holes will be necessary.
This is in general a cheaper and quicker method of development for inclined deposits than by a vertical shaft, and it has the added advantage that much information as to the character of the deposit is obtained as the shaft is sunk.
When the deposit lying below the surface is horizontal, or nearly so, or when the outcrop of an inclined deposit is not accessible, a vertical shaft will be necessary.
Vertical shafts are better adapted to rapid hoisting, and have therefore somewhat greater capacity, than inclined shafts.
Instead of mining in horizontal floors the filling method permits the ore to be mined in vertical chambers or slices which extend from one level to the next above and from one wall of the deposit to the other.
Moreover, the limit of vertical depth at which rope of even the best quality will support its own weight only, with a proper margin of safety, is, say, io,000 to 12,000 ft.; and with the load the safe working limit of depth would be reached at 7000 to 8000 ft.

All that is wanting in his writings, especially in his Isagoge in artem analyticam (1591), in order to make them look like a modern school algebra, is merely the sign of equality - a want which is the more striking because Robert Recorde had made use of our present symbol for this purpose since 1 557, and Xylander had employed vertical parallel lines since 1575.
In the second form, named after Robert Hare (1781-1858), professor of chemistry at the university of Pennsylvania, the liquids are drawn or aspirated up vertical tubes which have their lower ends placed in reservoirs containing the different liquids, and their upper ends connected to a common tube which is in communication with an aspirator for decreasing the pressure within the vertical tubes.
Simi larly the prism may be used for the study and elim- " ination of personal errors depending on the angle made s by a double star with the vertical.
The vertical distribution of salinity has only recently been investigated systematically, as the earlier expeditions were not equipped with altogether trustworthy apparatus for collecting water samples at great depths.
As yet it is only possible to speak with confidence of the vertical distribution of salinity in the seas surrounding Europe, where there is a general increase of salinity with depth.
The normal vertical distribution of temperature is illustrated in curve A of fig.
Such currents, due to the banking up of water, have a large share in setting the depths of the sea in motion, and so securing the vertical circulation and ventilation of the ocean.
Vertical movements are also produced by difference of temperature in the water, but these can only be feeble, as below 'coo fathoms the temperature differences between tropical and polar waters are very small.
Both actions result in the drawing in of an intermediate layer of water from a distance which takes part in the double system of vertical circulation as is indicated in fig.

A more cogent reason, however, is to be found in the fact that the principal coalfields are in flat countries, where the coal can only be reached by vertical sinking.
For this purpose a horizontal bar Shaft armed with vertical cutting chisels is used, which cuts boring.
In this the filling material, preferably sand, is sent down from the surface through a vertical steel pipe mixed with sufficient water to allow it to flow freely through distributing pipes in the levels commanding the excavations to be filled; these are closed at the bottom by screens of boards sufficiently close to retain the packing material while allowing the water to pass by the lower level to the pumping-engine which returns it to the surface.
Sometimes, but rarely, it happens that it is necessary to cut vertical grooves in the face to determine the limit of the fall, such limits being usually dependent upon the cleet or divisional planes in the coal, especially when the work is carried perpendicular to them or on the end.
They are applied on one side of the cage only, forming a complete vertical railway, carried by iron cross sleepers, with proper seats for the rails instead of wooden buntons; the cage is guided by curved shoes of a proper section to cover the heads of the rails.
In a later example at the Bargold pit of the Powell Duffryn Steam Coal Company a mixed arrangement is adopted with horizontal high-pressure and vertical low-pressure cylinders.

The skull is shorter and lower than in Megatherium, without any vertical expansion of the middle of the lower jaw, and the teeth also extend nearly to the front of the jaws; both these features being sloth-like.
Owing to the conical shape of the early muzzle-loading guns, if one trunnion were higher than the other, the " line of metal " would no longer be in the same vertical plane as the axis; in consequence of this, if a gun with, say, one wheel higher than the other were layed by this line, the axis would point off the target to the side of the lower wheel.
The large and brightly coloured bongo (Boocercus euryceros) of the equatorial forest-districts serves in some respects to connect the bushbucks with the elands, having horns in both sexes, and a tufted tail, but a brilliant orange coat with vertical white stripes.
This, he imagined, would compel an assailant to maintain large forces in the advanced trenches, which he proposed to attack by vertical fire from mortars.
This implies the treatment of a plane or solid figure as being wholly comprised between two parallel lines or planes, regarded by convention as being vertical; the figure being generated by an ordinate or section moving at right angles to itself through a distance which is called the breadth of the figure.
This is done by the little crank B on the axle of the fly-wheel, acting through the rod C, and the bent lever D, which forms a toggle-joint at E with the vertical piece of metal below it.

The motion of the plate may be simply produced by dropping it between two vertical grooves, the tuning-forks being properly fixed to a frame above.
The two forks are fixed so that one vibrates in a vertical, and the other in a horizontal, plane, and they are so placed that a converging beam of light received on one mirror is reflected to the other and then brought to a point on a screen.
If the first fork alone vibrates, the point on the screen appears lengthened out into a vertical line through the changes in inclination of the first mirror, while if the second fork alone vibrates, the point appears lengthened out into a horizontal line.
Imagine now that a fork with black prongs is held near the cylinder with its prongs vertical and the plane of vibration parallel to.
For this purpose four vertical mirrors are arranged round the vertical sides of a cube which is rapidly revolved about a vertical axis.
The flame appears to lengthen, but if the reflection is viewed in a vertical mirror revolving about a vertical axis or in Koenig's cube of mirrors, it is seen that the flame is really intermittent, jumping up and down once with each vibration, sometimes apparently going within the jet tube at its lowest point.
In a common form of electrically maintained fork, the fork is set horizontal with its prongs in a vertical plane, and a small electro-magnet is fixed between them.
This may be shown by furnishing the pipes with manometric flames placed in the same vertical line.
On the other hand, a girder imposes only a vertical load on its piers and abutments, and not a horizontal thrust, as in the case of an arch or suspension chain.

If it revolves about a vertical axis d its centre of gravity must always lie in that axis; if it rolls the centre of gravity must always lie over the e abutment.
When girders form the superstructure, the resultant pressure on the piers or abutments is vertical, and the dimensions of these are simply regulated by the sufficiency to bear this vertical load.
When the resultant pressure is not vertical on the piers these must be constructed to meet the inclined pressure.
In the last case they consist of any number of hollow cylindrical pillars, vertical or raking, turned and planed at the ends and united by a projection or socket and by flanges and bolts.

A main girder consists of an upper and lower flange, boom or chord and a vertical web.
The loading forces to be considered are vertical, the horizontal forces due to wind pressure are treated separately and provided for by a horizontal system of bracing.
For practical purposes it is accurate enough to consider the booms or chords as carrying exclusively the horizontal tension and compression and the web as resisting the whole of the vertical and, in a plate web, the equal horizontal shearing forces.
If A is the area of the plate web in a vertical section, the intensity of shearing stress is fs = S/A and the intensity on horizontal sections is the same.

This method distorts the curve, so that vertical ordinates of the curve are drawn to a scale b times greater than that of the horizontal ordinates.
The vertical distortion of the curve must not be so great that there is a very sensible difference between the length of the arc and its chord.
Extensive and deep-seated crumpling was necessarily accompanied by vertical uplift throughout the zone affected, but once at least since their birth the mountains have been worn down to a lowland, and the mountains of to-day are the combined product of subsequent uplift of a different sort, and dissection by erosion.
Altogether this western extremity of the Kuen-lun system is a very rugged mountainous region, a consequence partly of the intricacy of the flanking ranges and spurs, partly of the powerful lateral compression to which they have been subjected, and partly of the great and abrupt differences in vertical elevation between the crests of the ranges and the bottoms of the deep, narrow, rugged glens between them.
The flanks of the mountains are so deeply buried in disintegrated material that the difference in vertical altitude between the floors of the valleys and the summits of the ranges is comparatively small.
Pressure will also tend to produce an expansion of the rock mass in a direction (usually nearly vertical) at right angles to the compression, for such rocks as slates are distinctly plastic in great masses.
These plates are then placed horizontally by the dresser on a vertical iron "stand," and cut with a sharp knife into slates of various sizes suitable for the market.
Abandoning therefore all a priori theoretical assumption, Bashforth set to work to measure experimentally the velocity of shot and the resistance of the air by means of equidistant electric screens furnished with vertical threads or wire, and by a chronograph which measured the instants of time at which the screens were cut by a shot flying nearly horizontally.
Cardium belongs to the order of Lamellibranchia in which the gills present the maximum of complexity, the original vertical filaments of which they are composed being united by interfilamentar and interlamellar junctions.
High temperature in the depth may be taken to mean descending water, just as high atmospheric pressure means descending air, and hence it would seem that the slow vertical movement of water in the Pacific reproduces to some extent the phenomena of the " doldrums " and " horse latitudes," with this difference, that the centres of maximum intensity lie off the east of the land instead of the west as in the case of the continents.
Nearly all geckos are nocturnal and the pupil contracts into a vertical slit, except in a few diurnal kinds, e.g.

To a large extent the climate of Mexico is determined by vertical zones.
This is due not only to its geographical position and its vertical climatic zones, which give it a range from tropical to arctic types, but also to its peculiar combination of humid and arid conditions in which we find an extensive barren table-land interposed between two tropical forested coastal zones.
Thus if a horizontal slit is illuminated by an arc lamp, and the light - rendered parallel by a collimating lens - is transmitted through the sodium tube and focused on the vertical slit of a spectroscope, the effect of the sodium vapour is to produce its refraction spec trum vertically on the slit.
Though planetae decorated with narrow orphreys are occasionally met with in the monuments of the early centuries, these vestments were until the 10th century generally quite plain, and even at the close of this century, when the custom of decorating the chasuble with orphreys had become common, there was no definite rule as to their disposition; sometimes they were merely embroidered borders to the neck-opening or hem, sometimes a vertical strip down the back, less often a forked cross, the arms of which turned upwards over the shoulders.

It is usually made of glass, the lower bulb being loaded with mercury or small shot which serves as ballast, causing the instrument to float with the stem vertical.
The front root of the zygomatic arch is nearly vertical, and placed so far back that it is above the second molar, while the orbit - a unique feature among rodents - is almost completely surrounded by bone.
The humerus lacks a foramen at the lower end; and the molar teeth, as explained and illustrated in the article Vole, consist of two longitudinal rows of triangular alternating vertical prisms, and may be either rootless or rooted.
When stationary, the most efficient position in which to hold an umbrella is obviously vertical; when walking, the umbrella must be held more and more inclined from the vertical as the walker quickens his pace.
Hence for the rain to centrally traverse the tube, this must be inclined at an angle BAD to the vertical; this angle is conveniently termed the aberration due to these two motions.
They determined to reinvestigate the motion of y Draconis; the telescope, constructed by George Graham (1675-1751), a celebrated instrument-maker, was affixed to a vertical chimneystack, in such manner as to permit a small oscillation of the eyepiece, the amount of which, i.e.
Such an instrument consists of a triangular prism set with its refracting edge vertical on a rigid platform attached to a massive stand.
The collimator has a vertical slit at its outer end, the width of which may be regulated by a micrometer screw; in some instruments one half of the slit is covered by a small total reflection prism which permits the examination of two spectra simultaneously.
As an architectural term "bevel" is a sloped or canted edge given to a sill or horizontal course of stone, but is more frequently applied to the canted edges worked round the projecting bands of masonry which for decorative purposes are employed on the quoins of walls or windows and in some cases, with vertical joints, cover the whole wall.

If an iron ship be swung when upright for deviation, and the mean horizontal and vertical magnetic forces at the compass positions be also observed in different parts of the world, mathematical analysis shows that the deviations are caused partly by the permanent magnetism of hard iron, partly by the transient induced magnetism of soft iron both horizontal and vertical, and in a lesser degree by iron which is neither magnetically hard nor soft, but which becomes magnetized in the same manner as hard iron, though it gradually loses its magnetism on change of conditions, as, for example, in the case of a ship, repaired and hammered in dock, steaming in an opposite direction at sea.
B has reference to horizontal forces acting in a longitudinal direction in the ship, and caused partly by the permanent magnetism of hard iron, partly by vertical induction in vertical soft iron either before or abaft the compass.
Thus the part of B caused by the permanent magnetism of hard iron must be corrected by permanent magnets horizontally placed in a fore and aft direction; the other part caused by vertical soft iron by means of bars of vertical soft iron, called Flinders bars, before or abaft the compass.
The deviation observed when the ship inclines to either side is due - (i) to hard iron acting vertically upwards or downwards; (2) to vertical soft iron immediately below the compass; (3) to vertical induction in horizontal soft iron when inclined.
He also described a method of correcting deviation by means of a bar of vertical iron so placed as to correct the deviation nearly in all latitudes.

Another simple apparatus is a large vertical pipe or shoot in which sloping baffle plates or shelves are placed at intervals.
The steel reinforcement is generally applied in the form of vertical rods built in the wall at intervals, with lighter horizontal rods which cross the vertical ones, and thus form a network of steel which is buried in the concrete.
In the Cottancin system the concrete is replaced by bricks pierced with holes through which the vertical rods are threaded; the horizontal tie-rods are also used, but these do not merely cross the vertical ones, but are woven in and out of them.
They have usually been made square with a vertical steel rod at each corner.
But it is obvious that certain distributions will predominate, for the crystals will tend to fall so as to offer the least resistance to their motion; a needle-shaped crystal tending to keep its axis vertical, a plate-shaped crystal to keep its axis horizontal.

We must observe, as regards the plants of the lower alpine region, that it is the actual presence of a forest vegetation, rather than the theoretical treelimit, which affects their vertical distribution; so that, e.g.
This slit is long enough (82 in.) to extend entirely across the solar image and across such prominences of ordinary height as may happen to lie at the extremities of a vertical diameter.
Growth in length is mainly in a vertical direction, or at least at the ends of the shoots; and this should be encouraged, in the case of a timber tree, or of a climbing plant which it is desired should cover a wall quickly; but where flowers or fruit are specially desired, then, when the wood required is formed, the lateral shoots may often be trained more or less downward to induce fertility.
The tegmentum is pierced by numerous vertical ramified canals which contain epithelial papillae of the epidermis.

Whatever be the form into which the steel is to be rolled, it must in general first be poured from the Bessemer converter in which it is made into a large clay-lined ladle, and thence cast in vertical pyramidal ingots.
Theodolites are designed to measure horizontal angles with greater accuracy than vertical, because it is on the former that the most important work of a survey depends; measures of vertical angles are liable to be much impaired by atmospheric refraction, more particularly on long lines, so that when heights have to be determined with much accuracy the theodolite must be discarded for a levelling instrument.
A collar is provided, which when tightened on the vertical axis, otherwise free to move, holds it rigidly in position with respect to the plate PP. To this collar is attached a slow-motion screw, working against a reaction spring, by which the plate rr can be rotated through a small arc. The upper plate carrying two, three .or four verniers vv is attached to a vertical coned pillar passing through the centre of the larger pillar and rotating in it; this plate can be clamped to the lower plate by means of the screw C, and can be rotated with respect to it by the slow-motion screw d.

It was soon found that each mine was in reality a huge vertical funnel or crater descending to an unknown depth, and filled with diamantiferous blue ground.
Figure 8 also explains the modern system of mining introduced by Gardner Williams. A vertical shaft is sunk in the vicinity of the mine, and from this horizontal tunnels are driven into the pipe at different levels separated by intervals of 40 ft.
These constitute a hypodermal layer, beneath which the chlorophyll cells of the parenchyma are densely packed together, and are elongated in a direction vertical to the surface of the leaf, forming the palisade tissue.
In some Australian acacias, and in some species of Oxalis and Bupleurum, the petiole is flattened in a vertical direction, the vascular bundles separating immediately after quitting the stem and running nearly parallel from base to apex.

The divergences may also be represented diagrammatically on a horizontal projection of the vertical axis, as in fig.
The leaves are vertical, and arranged in two rows as in the garden flag; they are very thick, stiff and leathery, dark green above, paler below, with the margin and nerve reddishorange.
This comes from the usage in heraldry (first in French) for the colour equivalent to black, represented conventionally by a crosshatching of vertical and horizontal lines.
An additional difficulty arises in the case of observations made with long mercury thermometers buried in vertical holes, that the correction for the expansion of the liquid in the long stems is uncertain, and that the holes may serve as channels for percolation, and thus lead to exceptionally high values.
Vertical lines show the average monthly consumption in Great Britain and Ireland in millions of pounds.

In the vertical shaft there is first of all a grating which intercepts solid matters, and then, lower down, a central valve which can be opened and closed at pleasure from the top of the shaft.
At several stations in Greenland auroral curtains have been observed when passing right overhead to narrow to a thin luminous streak, exactly as a vertical sheet of light would seem to do to one passing underneath it.
Of course the phenomenon might be due to actual change in the arc, but it is at least consistent with the view that arcs are of two kinds, one form constituting a layer of no great vertical depth but considerable real horizontal width, the other form having little horizontal width but considerable vertical depth, and resembling to some extent an auroral curtain.
One end only, for example, may appear to move, as if rotating round the other; or the two ends may move in opposite directions, as if the arc were rotating about a vertical axis through its summit.
Others, which may be called " earth-tiltings," show themselves by a slow bending and unbending of the surface, so that a post stuck in the ground, vertical to begin with, does not remain vertical, but inclines now to one side and now to another, the plane of the ground in which it stands shifting relatively to the horizon.
If, as in practice, the moment of b is made slightly greater than that of c, the system will come slowly to a vertical position beneath a'd'.
To measure vertical motion, which with the greater number of earthquakes is not appreciable, a fairly steady mass to which a multiplying light-writing index can be attached is ob tamed from a weight carried on a lever held by any form of spring in a horizontal position.
This, when supported as shown, can be arranged to have an extremely slow period of vertical motion, and in this respect be equivalent to a weight attached to a very long spring, an alternative which is, however, impracticable.
The adjustment of the instrument is effected by means of screws in the bed-plate, by turning which the axis o'o" may be brought into a position nearly vertical.
Although this high degree of sensibility, and even a sensibility still higher, may be required in connexion with investigations respecting changes in the vertical, it is not necessary in ordinary seismometry.
An apparatus of great value in measuring slight changes in the vertical which have a bearing upon seismometrical observation is the Darwin bifilar pendulum.
This cylinder, which is suspended from a stand rigidly attached to the earth, has a vertical hole in its centre extending from its upper surface to its centre of gravity, and to the bottom of this well a light rod is fixed.
The other churches are of minor interest; close to that of La Trinita is the Montagna Spaccata, where a vertical fissure from 6 to 15 ft.
A potential branch or bud, either foliage or flower, is formed in the axil of each leaf; sometimes more than one bud arises, as for instance in the walnut, where two or three stand in vertical series above each leaf.
Others are attached throughout their extent, but also grow vertical filaments so as to form a velvety pile.
These, as shown in the figure, are composed of a variable number of vertical triangular prisms, in contact with one another by two (or one) of their angles.
The method once exclusively used consists in mixing the raw materials with a large quantity of water in a wash mill, a machine having radial horizontal arms driven from a central vertical spindle and carrying harrows which stir up and intermix any soft material placed in the pit in which the apparatus revolves.
There are also stage kilns of the Dietzsch type, which consist of two vertical shafts, one above the other, but not in the same vertical line, connected by a horizontal channel.
There are other forms of shaft kiln, such as the Schneider, in which there is a burning zone, a heating and cooling zone as in the Dietzsch, but no horizontal stage, the whole shaft being in the same vertical plane.
That these high plateaus are planes of erosion is shown by their independence of geological structure, the upturned edges of the vertical and contorted schists having been abruptly shorn off and the granite having been wasted and levelled along its exposed surface.
The horizontal stratification of some of these masses gives them a curiously architectural aspect, further increased by the effect of the numerous vertical joints by which the rock is cleft into buttresses and recesses along the fronts of the precipices and into pinnacles and finials along the summits.
Vast vertical walls of rock shoot up to a height of 600 ft., cut by their perpendicular joints into quadrangular piers and projections, some of which stand out alone as cathedral-like islets in front of the main cliff.
These three breakwaters, with a united length of rather more than 14 m., are each built of massive concrete blocks in the form of a practically vertical wall founded on the solid chalk and rising to a quay level of 10 ft.
At the head of the Ausable Chasm are the Rainbow Falls, where the stream makes a vertical leap of 70 ft.
Many, therefore, prefer mechanical stirring by means of paddles, fixed either to a vertical or to a horizontal shaft, and inject only sufficient steam to keep the mass at the proper temperature.
The body is smooth and shiny, with vertical grooves on the sides, the tail is but feebly compressed, the eye is moderately large and provided with movable lids, and the upper lip is nearly straight.
A vertical plane passing through A A is therefore in the meridian, and the polar axis is inclined to the horizon at an angle equal to that of the latitude of the place of observation.
A is a sleeve that revolves very freely and without shake on a vertical steel cone.
In practice the vertical circle is adjusted once for all, so that when the levels k and l are in the centre of their run, the verniers read true zenith distances.
The almucantar was therefore used only to observe the vertical transits of stars in different azimuths over fixed horizontal webs, without touching the telescope.
In this case the cone, above mentioned, is usually a right cone with its axis vertical.
Thus the boundary of the geometric shadow is a portion of a circle on the roof, but a portion of an hyperbola on the vertical wall.
A magnetograph is an instrument for continuously recording the values of the magnetic elements, the three universally chosen being the declination, the horizontal component and the vertical component.
Light passing through a vertical slit falls upon the mirrors, from which it is reflected, and two images of the slit are produced, one by the movable mirror attached to the magnet and the other by the fixed mirror.
To record the variations of the vertical component use is made of a magnet mounted on knife edges so that it can turn freely about a horizontal axis at right angles to its 1 Report British Association, Bristol, 18 9 8, P. 741.
The magnet is in equilibrium under the influence of the couple VM due to the vertical component V, and the couple due to the fact that the centre of gravity is slightly on one side of the knife-edge.
In the Eschenhagen form of vertical force balance two deflecting magnets are used to partly neutralize the vertical component, so that the centre of gravity is almost exactly over the support.
The scale values of the records given by the horizontal and vertical force magnetographs are determined by deflecting the respective needles, either by means of a magnet placed at a known distance or by passing an electric current through circular coils of large diameter surrounding the instruments.
The effects of temperature being so marked on the readings of the horizontal and vertical force magnetographs, it is usual to place the instruments either in an underground room or in a room which, by means of double walls and similar devices, is protected as much as possible from temperature changes.
The vertical position protects the structure from the intense sunlight, as with their edges towards the sky and earth they do not intercept light so fully as ordinary horizontally placed leaves.
The remains of the stockade round the margin were of vertical piles mortised into horizontal bars, and secured by pegs in the mortised holes.
The polygon of forces is then made up of segments of a vertical line.
Let a, $ be the inclinations of the planes, and 0 the angle which the bar makes with thE vertical.
The theorem that any coplanar system of forces can be reduced to a force acting through any assigned point, together with a couple, has an important illustration in the theory of the distribution of shearing stress and bending moment in a horizontal beam, or other structure, subject to vertical extraneous forces.
If we consider any vertical section F, the forces exerted across the section by the portion of the structure on one side on the portion on the other FIG.
The graph of F is a straight line; that of M is a parabola with vertical axis.
Hence if a system of vertical forces be in equilibrium, so that the funicular polygon ii closed, the length which this polygon intercepts on the vertical through any point P gives the sum of the moments about P of all the forces on one side of this vertical.
In practice the forces W are usually vertical, and the components P, Q are then conveniently taken to be vertical also.
Again, take the case of a string under gravity, in contact with a smooth curve in a vertical plane.
This property is characteristic of a parabola whose axis is vertical.
The vertical oscifiations of a weight which hangs from a fixed point by a spiral spring come under this case.
The small oscillations of a simple pendulum in a vertical plane also come under equation (5).
If the inclination of the string to the vertical does not exceed a few degrees, the vertical displacement of the particle is of the second order, so that the vertical acceleration may be neglected, and the tension of the string may be equated to the gravity mg of the particle.
For example, the path of a particle projected anyhow under gravity will obviously be confined to the vertical plane through the initial direction of motion.
This is a parabola with vertical axis, of latus-rectum 2uiulg.
Take, for example, the case of a particle moving on a smooth curve in a vertical plane, under the action of gravity and the pressure R of the curve.
The following table gives the period, for various amplitudes a, in terms of that of oscillation in an infinitely small arc about a vertical axis half-way between the points of attachment of the upper string.
In the motion of a projectile under gravity the hodograph is a vertical line described with constant velocity.
As a final example we may note the arrangement, often employed in physical measurements, where a body performs small oscillations about a vertical axis through its mass-centre G, under the influence of a couple whose moment varies as the angle of rotation from the equilibrium position.
When the body is twisted through an angle 0 the threads make angles aC/i, be/I with the vertical, and the moment of the tensions about the vertical through G is accordingly Kg, where K = M gab/i.
As an example of this latter type, suppose that a sphere is placed on the highest point of a fixed sphere and set spinning about the vertical diameter with the angular velocity n; it will appear that under a certain condition the motion of G consequent on a slight disturbance will be oscillatory.
The case of a sphere spinning about a vertical axis at, the lowest point of a spherical bowl is obtained by reversing the signs of a and c. It appears that this position is always stable.
To find the small oscillation about a state of steady precession in which the axis makes a constant angle a with the vertical, we write O=a+X, and neglect terms of the second order in x.
The result is that the axis of the top describes a circular cone about a fixed line making a small angle with the vertical.
As regards the most general motion of a spherical pendulum, it is obvious that a particle moving under gravity on a smooth sphere cannot pass through the highest or lowest point unless it describes a vertical circle.
Again, a vertical plane passing, through O and a point where the motion is horizontal is evidently a plane of symmetry as regards the path.
The meaning of these quantities is easily recognized; thus X is the angular momentum about a horizontal axis normal to the plane of 0, u is the angular momentum about the vertical OZ, and s is the angular momentum about the axis of symmetry..
The theory of disturbed precessional motion there outlined does not give a convenient view of the oscillations of the axis about the vertical position.
For simplicity we will suppose that the motion is confined to one vertical plane.
Neglecting the vertical acceleration we have P=gpx, whence a f ay\
Then will the projection of that line in the prnjectec figure indicate the vertical direction, and represent the weight of th part of the second structure corresponding to the before-mentione portion of the first structure.
Of this kind is the weight of any piece in the mechanism whose centre of gravity alternately rises and falls; for during the rise of the centre of gravity that weight acts as a resistance, and energy is employed in lifting it to an amount expressed by the product of the weight into the vertical height of its rise; and during the fall of the centre of gravity the weight acts as an effort, and exerts in assisting to perform the work of the machine an amount of energy exactly equal to that which had previously been employed in lifting it.
The sectarial mark of the Ramanujas resembles a capital U (or, in the case of another division, a Y), painted with a white clay called gopichandana, between the hair and the root of the nose, with a red or yellow vertical stroke (representing the female element) between the two white lines.
The perforated pharyngeal region has then been detached from the adherent epipleura or opercular folds (wall of atrial or branchial chamber) by cutting the fluted pharyngo-pleural membrane d, and separated by a vertical cut from the intestinal region.
The great evaporation going on from the surface probably causes a slow vertical circulation in the depth, the salter colder waters sinking, and ultimately escaping to the Indian Ocean.
But it should be understood that there are several tiers of galleries, and the vertical depth from the highest to the lowest is 260 ft.
The apparatus he employed was devised by the Rev. John Michell, though he had the most important parts reconstructed to his own designs; it depended on measuring the attraction exercised on a horizontal bar, suspended by a vertical wire and bearing a small lead ball at each end, by two large masses of lead.
It consisted of a fixed horseshoe armature wound over with insulated copper wire in front of which revolved about a vertical axis a horseshoe magnet.
On the near side of the staple was a vertical pillar, termed the arbor, the lower end of which was inserted into the staple at the top of the shoulder - the upper end passing through a top-plate, which being screwed on to the upper part of the staple held it firmly.
The platen is attached to the centre of the lever by a square bar of iron, and its vertical descent is assured by two projecting guides, one from each cheek; it is then raised from the type-forme, and the iron bar carried back by two levers - the one attached to and above the head and weighted with the eagle; the other behind the press, attached to the arm to which the coupling-bar is fixed, and which also has a weight at the end.
This type was fixed, both in vertical and in perpendicular positions, upon a cylinder, round which rotated other cylinders, which held and compressed the sheets against the larger one, which also revolved and carried the printing surface.
After many experiments Augustus Applegath (1789-1871) in 1848 constructed for The Times (London), a machine which was an eight-feeder, built entirely on the cylindrical principle, the cylinders placed not in a horizontal but in a vertical position.
The impression cylinder then delivered the sheets separately (still in a vertical position) into the hands of the boys employed as takers-off.
The type-forme is usually fixed in an almost vertical and stationary position, and it is the platen on which the sheet is laid which rises from the horizontal position to the vertical in order to give the necessary impact to produce a printed impression from the typeforme.
The other items of cost are labour, the quantity of which depends on the mechanical appliances provided for handling the converter shells and inserting the lining; and the blast, which in barrel-shaped converters is low and in vertical converters is high, and which varies therefore from 3 to is lb to the square inch.
Szontagh, in America, have introduced a method of circulating the solution in each vat by forcing air into a vertical pipe communicating between the bottom and top of a tank, with the result that the bubbling of the air upward aspirates solution through the vertical pipe from below, at the same time aerating it, and causing it to overflow into the top of the tank.
Hooker ascertained the average vertical range of flowering plants in the Himalayas to be 4000 ft., while in some cases it extended to 8000 ft.
The high altitudes of the Andean region also introduce vertical zones of temperature, modified to some extent by the rainless plateaus of the north, and by the excessive rainfall of the south.
The letters A B show a vertical section through a fragment of a potato leaf, enlarged 1_00 diameters; A is the upper surface line, and B the lower; the lower surface of the leaf is shown at the top, A Fin.
Between A and B the loose cellular tissue of which the leaf is partly built up is seen in section, and at C the vertical palisade cells which give firmness to the upper surface of the leaf.
In the rat-kangaroos, or kangaroo-rats, as they are called in Australia, constituting the sub-family Potoroinae, the first upper incisor is narrow, curved, and much exceeds the others in length; the upper canines are persistent, flattened, blunt and slightly curved, and the first two premolars of both jaws have large, simple, compressed crowns, with a nearly straight or slightly concave free cutting-edge, and both outer and inner surfaces usually marked by a series of parallel, vertical grooves and ridges.
Lucy's Dome, one of the group of Jessup Domes, is supposed to be the loftiest of all these vertical shafts.
Among the most surprising features of cave scenery are the vertical shafts that pierce through all levels, from the uppermost galleries, or even from the sink-holes, down to the lowest floor.
This vertical arrangement of climatic zones is modified to some extent (less than in Argentina) by varying rainfall conditions, which are governed by the high mountain ranges crossing one corner of the republic, and also by the prevailing winds.
All round its edge there is a tension T acting at an angle a with the vertical.
Hence the liquid will rise in the tube till the weight of the vertical column between the free surface and the level of the liquid in the vessel balances the resultant of the surface-tension.
Let l be the breadth of the plates measured perpendicularly to the plane of the paper, then the length of the line which bounds the wet and the dry parts of the plates inside is 1 for each surface, and on this the tension T acts at an angle a to the vertical.
If, as is sometimes stated, the tension of a vertical film were absolutely the same throughout, the middle parts would of necessity fall with the acceleration of gravity.
In the next place, there is the surface-tension acting downwards, but at an angle a with the vertical, across the circular section of the bubble itself, whose circumference is 21ry, and the downward force is therefore 2lryT cos a.
Of these gravity has no effect on the form of the stream except in drawing asunder its parts in a vertical direction, because the lower parts are moving faster than the upper parts.
In this case drops which break away with different velocities are carried under the action of gravity into different paths; and thus under ordinary circumstances a jet is apparently resolved into a " sheaf," or bundle of jets all lying in one vertical plane.
The normal scattering of a nearly vertical jet is due to the rebound of the drops when they come into collision with one another.
When the stream consists of drops following one another in single file, no such increase of section is possible; and then the constancy of the total stream requires a gradual approximation of the drops, which in the case of a nearly vertical direction of motion cannot stop short of actual contact.
Regular vibration has, however, the effect of postponing the collisions and consequent scattering of the drops, and in the case of a direction of motion less nearly vertical, may prevent them altogether.
As early as 1869 Dupre had arrived at a similar conclusion from experiments upon the vertical rise of fine jets.
If K is the height of the flat surface of the drop, and k that of the point where its tangent plane is vertical, then T = 1(K - k) 2gp. Quincke finds that for several series of substances the surfacetension is nearly proportional to the density, so that if we call Surface-Tensions of Liquids at their Point of Solidification.
The capsules are incised vertically, or in some districts vertical cuts with diagonal branches are made.
Endodermal muscles are found in the phacellae, and in such forms as Lucernaria, longitudinal (vertical) muscular tracts or bands are found in the taeniolae, which, according to some authorities, are xxiv.
The balloon in a calm can only rise and fall in a vertical line.
The balloon in the absence of wind can only rise and fall in a vertical line; the flying creature can fly in a horizontal plane in any given direction.
It is a peculiarity of natural wings, and of artificial wings constructed on the principle of living wings, that when forcibly elevated or depressed, even in a strictly vertical direction, they inevitably dart forward.
If, for instance, the wing is suddenly depressed in a vertical direction, as at a b of fig.
If, again, the wing be suddenly elevated in a strictly vertical direction, as at c d, the wing as certainly darts upwards and forwards in a double curve to e, thus converting the vertical up strokes into an upward, oblique, forward stroke.
If the wing of a gannet, just shot, be removed and made to flap in what the operator believes to be a strictly vertical downward direction, the tip of the wing, in spite of him, will dart forwards between 2 and 3 ft.
It will of its own accord dispose itself as an inclined plane, and receiving obliquely the reaction of the air, it transfers into tractile force a part of the vertical impulsion it has received.
The wing is free to move in a vertical and horizontal direction and at any degree of obliquity.
Degen in 1816 and Ottoris Sarti in 1823, followed Cayley at moderate intervals, constructing flying models on the vertical screw principle.
Bright took out a patent for a machine to be sustained by vertical screws.
The vertical axes are surmounted by two parachutes, and the body of the machine is furnished with an engine, propeller, rudders and an extensive aeroplane.
The production of flight by the vertical flapping of wings is in some respects the most difficult, but this also has been attempted and achieved.
A vertical movement having been communicated by means of india-rubber in a state of torsion to the roots of the wings, the wings themselves, in virtue of their elasticity, and because of the resistance experienced from the air, twisted and untwisted and formed reciprocating screws, precisely analogous to those originally described and figured by Pettigrew in 1867.
It was hoped that when the aeroplanes were wedged forward in the air by vertical screws, or by the body to be flown, each aeroplane would rest or float upon a stratum of undisturbed air, and that practically the aeroplanes would give the same support as if spread out horizontally.
The cardinal idea was to force the aeroplanes (slightly elevated at their anterior margins) forwards, kite-fashion, by means of powerful vertical screw propellers driven at high speed - the greater the horizontal speed provided by the propellers, the greater, by implication, the lifting capacity of the aerodrome.
The bodies, frames and aeroplanes of the aerodromes were strengthened by vertical and other supports, to which were attached aluminium wires to ensure absolute rigidity so far as that was possible.
There were also side aeroplanes arranged in tiers, and large aeroplanes in front, which were pivoted and served for vertical steering.
The machine was strengthened in every direction by vertical and other supports and securely wired together at all points.
These investigators began their work in 1900, and at an early stage introduced two characteristic features - a horizontal rudder in front for steering in the vertical plane, and the flexing or bending of the ends of the main supporting aeroplanes as a means of maintaining the structure in proper balance.
The machine was furnished with two wheels and vertical supports which depended from the anterior parts of the aeroplanes and supported it when it touched the ground FIG.
The rudder for lateral steering was placed about 21 metres behind the main surfaces and was formed of two vertical pivoted aeroplanes.
The antlers are large and curve forwards, giving off an upright snag near the base, and several vertical tines from the upper surface of the horizontal portion.
The methods of culture are primitive, the plough commonly used being a long pole with two vertical iron teeth and a smaller pole at right angles to which oxen are attached.
The Fata Morgana, frequently seen in the Straits of Messina, consists of an apparent vertical elongation of an object situated on the opposite shore.
The system consequently acts as a continuous lens, magnifying the object in a vertical direction.
If, in addition to this horizontal stratification, the atmosphere varies similarly in vertical planes, then the object would be magnified both horizontally and vertically.
It must not only be strong enough to sustain all possible vertical loads, but it must be sufficiently rigid to resist without deformation or weakening all lateral disturbing forces, the principal of which are the pressure of wind, the possible sway of moving crowds or moving machinery, and the vibration of the earth from the passage of loaded vans and trolleys, and slight earthquakes which at times visit almost all localities.
In the case of very tall exposed buildings of small depth, the vertical load on the columns due to wind pressure in the opposite side of the building must be computed and allowed for, and in case the lower columns are without lateral support their bending moment must be sufficient to resist the lateral pressure due to wind and eccentricity of loading.
It is important in all fire-proofing of columns and girders, and in all floor construction, furring and partitions, that there shall be no continuous voids, either vertical or horizontal, which may possibly serve as flues for the spread of heat or flame in case of fire.
The result of this is the production of four nuclei, which eventually take up a position at the bottom of the ovum and become separated from one another by vertical cellwalls; these nuclei divide again, and finally three tiers of cells are produced, four in each tier.
Excepting the embayment region, Missouri lies wholly within the Carolinian area of the Upper Austral life-zone; the There has been some controversy as to whether this condition is due to the elevation and corrosion of original flood-plain meanders after their development in a past base-level condition - which theory is probably correct - or to the natural, simultaneous lateral and vertical cut of an originally slightly sinuous stream, under such special conditions of stream declivity and horizontal bedstrata (conditions supposed by some to be peculiarly fulfilled in this region) as would be favourable to the requisite balance of bank cutting and channel incision.
The eastern Cordillera region is noteworthy for its large areas of plateau and elevated valley within the limits of the vertical temperate zone.
In the first place the column may be long and slender, or may be, on the contrary, so short in the vertical direction that the body becomes disk-like.
